WARNING! A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION. CAUTION When showing navigation data to a position (waypoint), a GPS unit will show the shortest, most direct path to the waypoint. It provides navigation data to the waypoint regardless of obstructions. Therefore, the prudent navigator will not only take advantage of all available navigation tools when traveling to a way- point, but will also visually check to make sure a

Section 1: Read Me First! How this manual can get you out on the road, fast! Welcome to the exciting world of GPS satellite navigation! We know you're anxious to begin finding your way with this space-age technol- ® ogy, but we have a favor to ask. Before you grab the GlobalMap Baja and begin installing it, please give us a moment or two to explain how our manual can help you get the best performance from your high- resolution, high-performance GPS+WAAS chart recorder. First, we want to th

Section 3 contains short, easy-to-scan GPS lessons that follow one an- other in chronological order. They're all you'll need to know to find your way on the water or in the wilderness quickly. After you've learned the basics (or if you already have some GPS ex- perience), you may want to try out some of the GlobalMap Baja's many advanced navigation features. That brings us to Section 4, Advanced GPS Operations. This section contains the rest of the unit's GPS com- mand functions, organized i

How Lowrance GPS Works You'll navigate faster and easier if you understand how the GlobalMap Baja scans the sky to tell you where you are on the earth — and, where you're going (But if you already have a working understanding of GPS receivers and the GPS navigation system, skip on ahead to Section 2, Installation & Accessories on page 9. If you're new to GPS, read on, and you can later impress your friends with your new-found knowledge.). First, think of your unit as a small but powerful

tape in a cassette tape recorder. You can save several different GPS data files, erase 'em and record new ones, over and over again. Like any com- puter file, these GPS Data Files (file format *.usr) can be shared be- tween Lowrance GPS or sonar/GPS units or even personal computers. This GlobalMap Baja has one more thing in common with a personal computer. Just as computers have a floppy disk drive for storing and ex- changing files, the unit has a slot for an MMC (MultiMedia Card) or SD (Se

the armed forces of the U.S. and its allies. Civilian use was also avail- able at first, but it was less accurate because the military scrambled the signal somewhat, using a process called Selective Availability (SA). GPS proved so useful for civilian navigation the federal government discontinued SA on May 2, 2000, after the military developed other methods to deny GPS service to enemy forces. Reliable accuracy for ci- vilian users jumped from 100 meters (330 feet) under SA to the present

GlobalMap Baja to determine direction of travel, you must be moving and the faster, the better. This is not to say that it won’t work at walk- ing or trolling speeds — it will. There will simply be more "wandering" of the data shown on the display. GPS is plenty accurate for route navigation, but the U.S. Federal Avia- tion Administration has special needs for aircraft traffic control that go beyond basic GPS. The FAA has a program to boost GPS performance even further with its Wide Area Au

Arrow Keys The arrow keys control the movement of dotted cross-hair lines on your mapping screen called the cursor. The arrow keys help you move around the menus so you can execute different commands. They are represented by symbols like these, which denote the down arrow key, the up arrow, the left arrow and the right arrow: ↓ ↑ ← →. Keyboard The other keys perform a variety of functions. When the text refers to a key to press, the key is shown in bold, sans serif type. For example, the

Section 2: Installation & Accessories Preparations You can install the GPS system in some other order if you prefer, but we recommend this installation sequence: Caution: You should read over this entire installation section before drill- ing any holes in your vehicle or vessel! 1. Determine the approximate location for the GPS unit, so you can plan how and where to route the cables for the antenna and power. This will help you make sure you have enough cable length for the de- sired co

You need to select an antenna installation location that has a clear, un- obstructed view of the sky. After the module is installed, connect it to the unit. The LGC-3000 can communicate with your GPS unit either directly ® (using the supplied extension cable) or through a NMEA 2000 network. NOTE: See the module’s instruction sheet, publication part number 988- 0154-651, for complete installation instructions. In an automobile, you may achieve good results by simply placing the external a

NOTE: There are two basic power connection options, which are shown in the following two diagrams. Read the following instructions carefully to determine which power connection applies to your unit. De- pending on your configuration, you may not use all of these wires. Caution: All of the wires in the power/data cable have bare ends for eas- ier installation. The bare ends on any unused wires could cause an electrical short if left exposed. To prevent this, you should cover the individual

this unit could be damaged to a point that it is irreparable and could even cause harm to the user when not properly fused. Failure to use a 3-amp fuse will void your warranty. If possible, keep the power cable away from other boat wiring, especially the engine's wires. This will provide the best isolation from electrical noise. If the cable is not long enough, splice #18 gauge wire onto it. The display power cable has two wires, red and black. Red is the positive (+) lead, black is negat
